Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe (2ndR) attends the investiture ceremony for Democratic Republic of the Congo’s President Joseph Kabila in Kinshasa on December 20, 2011. Mugabe was the only Head of State attending the ceremony. Kabila was sworn in on December 20 for another term as president of DR Congo, a job also claimed by his main rival following disputed polls that have plunged the country into deep crisis. The 40-year-old incumbent was last week confirmed the winner by a Supreme Court the opposition says he packed with loyalists just before the Democratic Republic of Congo’s November 28 polls.
